Men's Raider Steel-Toe 6" Work Boot - Durable & Protective Footwear for the Job Site

Franchesta BentonFranchesta Benton: Well I have to say I’m one of those people that only read reviews but never write them. Well I have to say I’m a 15 year veteran mechanic and I’ve tried everything from redwing to keen to timberland in all different styles. And I have to say these are by far the most comfortable safety toe boot that hold up 2 years every time. I mean I wear these boots 40-50 hours per week for two years, they start out more comfortable than any other boot and by a few months in they fit like a glove. I tried roughing out redwings widest boot possible but by 1.5 month I had cuts and sores on my feet... so in the end this is my 4’th pair of redwing raider safety toe going on 8 years and I’m very happy with the product compared to all competitors.

Loree: My son sent these boots back because, after 30 minutes of wearing, he had to put his old boots back on. These were so terribly uncomfortable. A read disappointment because he was very optimistic about them.

Amazon Customer: Very good quality boots. Comfortable and lite. Quality construction and leather.

John TranJohn Tran: The pair that I received were constructed differently. The steel toe on the right boot is a little off, tilted a few degrees to the left. This caused the right edge of the steel toe to protrude (see pic) and also caused the leather to be stretched unevenly over the boot. I can feel a little extra space above my right toes. The stitching on the soles is also different on each boot. The left boot has a more consistent, shorter stitching. Basically, the right boot is a lemon.

Ignoring the lemon boot issue, these are very comfortable and great looking boots. My only gripe is how easily they scuff (VERY easily). As I took the boots out of the box, they rubbed slightly and the shoelace eyelet on one boot scuffed the other.

I am giving these boots one more chance. I will update this review once I receive my replacement pair.

---------- EDIT 9/13/16 -----------

Another defective pair. This time the left boot was defective. The outer upper on the left boot is nearly a half inch wider than the outer(right) upper of the right boot, pushing the entire lacing system to the right. It's EXTREMELY noticeable.

Whoever is in charge of Quality Control needs to be...

Shrekie: I'm a U.P.S. Delivery driver and I'm constantly going through shoes. I normally buy black walking shoes as it is required that we wear brown or black polishable footwear. I've been wearing the walking shoes for about 6 years because when I started the job I tried to wear work boots ,which UPS encourages for safety reasons, but my feet just weren't having it. I easily wear out the walking shoes in 2 1/2 to 3 months. Walking shoes were always cheaper in price and always comfortable but as I've got a little older I have become increasingly more concerned with protecting my feet with a sturdier shoe without sacrificing comfort. I think I have found it in these wolverine raiders. I have a wide foot and was able to order the correct size and width here on Amazon and cheaper than at retail stores I looked it. When I received them they looked great and because of the good reviews I was eager to try them on. Because of my previous problems with work boots hurting my feet and sometimes even giving me blisters I was afraid to take them straight out into the field, as depending on the route we can walk anywhere from 3 1/2 to 5 1/2 miles a day. So for a few days I wore them around the house...
